Slippery Elm is great when you are ill and can't eat anything else. It will keep you going. And it doesn't upset a stomach. But I don't think that it will cure anything.

For acid reflux etc, get you gut in order. The best way that I have found is to take probiotics, and Water Kefir is the cheapest and in my opinion, nicest way to do that.

There have been quite a few posts on here about slippery elm - generally reaction seems positive. Not tried it myself

Search facility is poor as only brings up few as search doesn't pick up posts that are ticked for Thyroid forum only

Slippery Elm is God's gift to any stomach problem , also agree pro biotics help . You could also look up apple cider vinegar .
